and you guys are saying R&B is struggling simply because your faves are flops now no shade

n

I mean....YEAH!

ALL our faves ain't sellin like they use to. They don't get label support, they barely get spins on the radio. They get the short end of the stick

I mean if u just look at the iTunes Charts, the R&B category is almost non existent. The shade is u can be #7 on R&B and #145 on the iTunes main.

You make a good point. It's sad but I'm used to it now. It's like the same formula every time. Make them release boring R&B songs, send it to Urban AC, release the album, whew! done

but I have to put some blame on the R&B artists as well. Feels like a lot of them are comfortable where they are. Why not change the sound, release a different way, etc.

I definitely agree with that. They have to find a way to be hot/current/ and still have a progressive sound, while being true to R&B.

I think that's why I love "Earned It"

!!! and a lot of them don't even have to switch it up that much. They can easily just find a producer to add an edgy spin to their established sound. Switch up how they sing, etc.

rebranding rebranding rebranding.
That's what it comes down to with the R&B artist from the 90's n early 2000's.

and ALL artist should listen to radio. Not to hop on whats hot but to see how they can push something further or make something their own.

In 2010-2011, an R&B artist was lucky to see Gold. Now you're lucky to even push 300k, 400k at the most

rap/hip-hop type urban has consistently been mainstream
its R&B that struggling

"Earned It" was a huge hit this year. A R&B song.

That song isn't purely R&B. & i think it's female R&B/hip hop that's taken a hit.

I remember when all of our gorls were dominating the charts at one point. But I feel like now the industry is more misogynistic than ever.
